Never bought a new car, found this site/string very informative. Am replacing wife's 11 year old Explorer with an 07 AWD EX-L RES in the next 2 months. Had some basic questions: How do you get the color you want? Are you hoping the dealers have one on the lot or can get for you? Is there a sample letter out there that I can download/steal/plagiarize? Thanks for advice. I'm excited to take the control away from the salesman/business manager, and leave knowing I paid a reasonable price. RS, Chesapeake, VA

Replying to: ricksee (Feb 15, 2007 2:11 am) How you word the letter is pretty unimportant, IMO. The only thing I said was "give me your best price up front, because I'm contecting a number of dealers, and I'm not interested in haggling." But I don't think what you say has much effect on what they quote you. My dealer was easily and happily able to bring in different colors from other local dealers. But I think they were able to do that in part because they are a relatively high-volume dealer. A smaller dealer might not have the leverage to do that. There are very few factory options on Pilots. Are you referring to dealer-installed accessories? You need to look at the prices for those on the Web, and then don't pay more from a dealer. Most you can install yourself much, much cheaper. Also, take a look at hondapilot.org ... they have a similar discussion there. Chris

Replying to: ansjoe (Feb 14, 2007 2:20 pm) I got a quote of $23,690 + fees for 07'pilot LX 2wd + 1500 for leather, in SFO bay area. Is this a good deal ? Thinking of going down south to LA to see if it will be cheaper.

Replying to: eaglepilot (Feb 15, 2007 4:59 am) Yes, it appears I am referring to dealer options (trailer hitch, day/night mirror, running boards, fog lights, etc) I can the see the MSRP on the Honda site for these items and will assume I have to haggle on these at the dealer level, or I could include in my letter to the dealers and let the competition keep those prices low too. Any advice from others on what is reasonable to expect to pay for those sort of options would be welcome. Thanks all.

Replying to: jeepvan (Feb 15, 2007 12:50 pm) Option: rear mud splash + trunk cover (1/2 price of msrp) at Cleo Bay Honda in Kileen, Texas. I chosed to finance 0.9%/3year so need to add $1500. Also Gunn Honda in San Antonio give the same price but would not budge on Option price. The manager was pushing me to buy, that also not a good move for him. I like to do it in my own term.

Replying to: ricksee (Feb 15, 2007 2:36 pm) Don't even look at MSRP -- as with the car itself, it's meaningless. Go to one of these sites: http://www.hondacuraworld.com/ http://www.hondapartsdeals.com/ http://www.collegehillshonda.com/ Those will have prices well under MSRP. If you can install yourself, just order them. If you need the dealer to install, you'll pay steep labor, but at least make them match the price of the part. Chris |
